The Patriarch of Martial Arts Sect looked at the hot-blooded teenagers and the silent ones. There was disappointment in his eyes, but more than that, there was relief.
At least, there were still people who were willing to stay under such circumstances.
As the Patriarch of Martial Arts Sect, he was not a failure.
"I also know that many of you have already made your choice. Since we are all from the same sect, I won't force you to stay and suffer for the sake of the Martial Arts Sect."
Without any impassioned guarantees or promises, the Patriarch of Martial Arts Sect said calmly, "From now on, those who are willing to stay, stand on the right side of the square. Those who want to leave, stand on the left side.
"Those who leave, I won't blame you. Those who stay, I'm proud of you. I'm proud of the Martial Arts Sect for having disciples like you.
"Although I can't guarantee what benefits you will get by staying here, I can guarantee that as long as you are here, you will be a disciple of the Martial Arts Sect. Anyone who wants to bully you will have to ask for the permission of the fist of the Martial Arts Sect!"
After saying that, the Patriarch of Martial Arts Sect took a deep breath and closed his eyes. He waited quietly for the crowd to make a decision. He was a little nervous.
The square was noisy. Everyone was whispering and discussing. Some were hesitant, but more of them had already made up their minds. They walked directly to the left side of the square.
Of course, there were also people who walked to the right side.
But in the eyes of those on the left, they were a bunch of fools.
The environment of the Martial Arts Sect was not bad, but they had to be alive to enjoy it.
News had already spread from the Qian and Kun Peaks that Dongyu's army was approaching. They had crossed the void and might come to the Martial Arts Sect tomorrow.
If they stayed at this time, what else could it be other than courting death?
Under the persuasion of their friends on the left, many people who were hesitant chose to leave.
After all, they were still young and had not betrayed the Martial Arts Sect. If they left, they could join other sects anyway. There was no need to risk their lives for the Martial Arts Sect. They wouldn't get any benefits anyway.
"They've received so many favors from the Sect. Now that the Sect is in trouble, they don't even think about returning the favor. Instead, they flee at the first opportunity. What a bunch of ingrates whose conscience has been eaten by dogs."
The person standing on the right side of the square stared coldly at the disciples of the Martial arts sect who were about to leave. He couldn't help but mock them.
In their eyes, this was a group of heartless people.
However, no matter what they said, the person on the other side was indifferent.
After a long while, the Patriarch of Martial Arts Sect opened his eyes and looked at the disciples of the Martial Arts Sect who had almost all made their choices. A trace of helplessness flashed through his eyes.
There were too few people who chose to stay.
The entire Martial arts sect had thousands of disciples.
As far as the eye could see, there were only a few hundred who were willing to stay.
As for the others, they all chose to leave.
"Fine, fine. I'll give you an hour to pack up and leave …" The Patriarch of Martial Arts Sect waved his hand tiredly.
When the disciples of the Martial Arts Sect heard this, they looked at the Patriarch of Martial Arts Sect who seemed to have aged in an instant. Many of them felt a little upset.
However, this feeling was more like a fleeting moment.
"Patriarch, this disciple will take his leave."
Someone bowed to the Patriarch of Martial Arts Sect.
When the others saw this, many of them followed suit.
However, most of them were still indifferent and left without saying a word.
The Patriarch of Martial Arts Sect stood on the square and watched the disciples and even the elders of the Martial Arts Sect leave one after another. The Fortune Mountain, which had been bustling with noise and excitement, suddenly became deserted.
"Patriarch, you've been standing here for two hours …"
Seeing the Patriarch of Martial Arts Sect standing on the square like a statue, a disciple who stayed couldn't help but call out to him.
"Ah? It's been two hours? "
The Patriarch of Martial Arts Sect came back to his senses a little slowly. Then, he smiled bitterly and shook his head. He waved at the disciple, turned around, and flew toward the Fortune Mountain.
In the Fortune Palace, Lin Tian sat on the throne in the center. When he saw the Patriarch of Martial Arts Sect arrive, he couldn't help but put down the fragrant tea in his hand and asked faintly, "How is it?"
"After counting, other than me and the seven elders, the four elders who stayed are all below the Emperor level."
"A total of 321 disciples stayed. 301 ordinary disciples, 19 core disciples, and one direct disciple."
Hearing this number, the seven elders who had been staying in the Fortune Palace all this time couldn't help but say, "That's too little …"
Although they were prepared, they didn't expect that there would be so few people who were willing to stay.
"Sigh …"
The Patriarch of Martial Arts Sect couldn't help but sigh.
Lin Tian was the only one present, and his expression didn't change.
He pondered for a moment, then said, "From today onward, these 321 people will be the cornerstones of the Zaihua Martial Arts Sect. Their names will be known throughout the nine heavens and ten lands."
"As for those who left, they'll never be allowed to take half a step into the Martial Arts Sect. Those who violate this … will be killed without mercy!"
At this point, a sharp and cold light flashed in Lin Tian's eyes.
Everyone looked at him with their mouths agape. They didn't know where Lin Tian got his confidence from.
"Sigh …"
The first elder shook his head. He didn't want to crush his confidence.
In their eyes, it was already very good that they could keep Lin Tian alive.
As for becoming famous in the world, they didn't even think about it.
Lin Tian didn't explain to these people. He got up and patted his butt, then walked outside alone. He wanted to take a stroll and stretch his body.
However, he didn't go far before he was stopped by Yue Qingying angrily.
"What?"
Lin Tian looked at her in confusion. He didn't know what this woman wanted to do.
Yue Qingying didn't say anything. She just gritted her teeth and looked at Lin Tian. This bastard. After bringing her here, he ran away without a word.
Actually, that wasn't all.
More importantly, he kept asking her to refine pills.
For more than a month, other than refining pills, she was on the road of refining pills. She didn't even have time to cultivate. Yue Qingying felt like she was going crazy.
This time, she finally caught Lin Tian. How could she let him go so easily?
Lin Tian looked at Yue Qingying's face and smelled the unconcealable fragrance of pills on her body. He immediately understood. He couldn't help but smile. "I asked you to refine pills for your own good."
"But I don't think I'm good."
Yue Qingying gritted her teeth.
"Haven't you noticed that you're getting better at refining pills?" Lin Tian asked.
Yue Qingying was stunned at first. Then, she said angrily, "This is the result of my own hard work. You didn't teach me."
"But haven't you noticed that the spirit energy in your body has changed?"
Lin Tian spread out his hands and said.
Yue Qingying was stunned. Then, she immediately checked the spirit energy in her body. She really didn't notice this during this period.
"Eh …"
Yue Qingying raised her eyebrows and exclaimed, "Why did my spirit energy turn greenish-yellow?"
"Try again. See if your spirit energy has a recovery effect."
Lin Tian said again, "For example, cut a hole on your hand."
Hearing this, Yue Qingying hesitated. Finally, she stretched out her left hand. Using the spirit energy on her right hand as a blade, she cut a hole on the back of her left hand.
Then, according to Lin Tian's instructions, she transferred the spirit energy to the wound.
In an instant, a miracle happened. Under the caress of the spirit energy, her wound actually healed quickly.
"What, what, what's going on?"
Yue Qingying's beautiful eyes widened in shock.
"Now, do you still think I'm lying to you?"
Lin Tian looked at Yue Qingying in amusement.
Yue Qingying shook her head and looked at him eagerly.
"I'll say it again. Destroy your cultivation and be my maid forever. I'll teach you how to refine pills. How about it?"
Lin Tian looked at Yue Qingying playfully.
"Okay!"
Yue Qingying only hesitated for a moment this time. Then, she agreed. Anyway, she couldn't go back to the Yingyue Tiangong. She also didn't have any other cultivation methods. So what if she destroyed her cultivation?
She might as well believe Lin Tian this time.
Moreover, being his maid didn't seem to be a shameful thing.
After all, this was a man who could make the Martial arts Emperor bow his head and beg.
"I, Yue Qingying, swear in the name of Tendo …"
After agreeing, Yue Qingying no longer hesitated. With a serious expression, she prepared to swear the oath of Tendo.
However, before she could finish her sentence, Lin Tian interrupted her.
"You don't have to swear the oath of Tendo. You just have to remember that if you break the oath of Tendo, you may still have a way out. But if you break your promise with me, you will have nowhere to run …"
